(Tap at Les Brasseurs - but described as La Blanche de froment et ogre malt - ie wheat and barley) Opaque pale yellow with good white head. Aroma of citrus with some funkiness. Medium body and medium carbonation. Flavour is refreshing with lemony tastes, but quite complex with hints of banana and biscuit. No bitterness. Overall quite a refreshing blanche, but not my style.

(On tap at brewpub) Cloudy copper colour with good white head. Slight whisky hints in the aroma. Medium body and carbonation. Flavour is malty with a little bitterness. Overall it’s a pleasant enough beer but the whisky aspect is not really apparent other than perhaps in the aroma.

(On tap at brewpub) Cloudy orangey copper with huge white head. Aroma of lemon and lime with slight funkiness. Light body and modest carbonation. Flavour is dominated by citrus / lime. It’s not too tart. Starts nicely refreshing, but it doesn’t really develop as there is just a hint of malt sweetness and no bitterness. I couldn’t taste any agave! Overall, it’s an odd beer. It’s more an alcoholic limeade. But it’s not an alcopop, but a proper brewed beer. It’s clever, refreshing, nice for what it is, but disappoints as a beer.

Draft at the brewpub. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head - served with a lime slice. The aroma has strong notes of lime, as well as light notes of tequila, and hints of malt. The falvor is sweet and dominated by tequila and lime on a lightly malty background, leading to a dry, bitter, and lime finish. Not really my thing.

Draft at the brewpub. An unclear amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has strong notes of fruit - passion fruit and peaches as well as some malt and a bit of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, lots of fruits - peaches and passion fruits, as well as lighter notes of dusty hops, leading to a dry finish, where the alcohol tickles the tongue lightly.

An amber beer with a fine collapsing white head. The aroma is malty with notes of caramel and brewmash. The flavor is sweet containing a lot of caramel as well as brewmash, oranges, lemon, and a goo hoppy bitter end. For my taste this is a bit too sweet and contains too dominant notes of lemon.

Had a pint at Les Brasseurs Geneva, comes with a slice of yellow lemon in it. Light amber spongy head, hazy yellow appearance, fresh citrusy aroma, sweetish taste, moldy flavor, abrupt finish, high carbonation. Refreshing but not very special.
